The World Human Rights Protection Commission (WHRPC), a premier global body dedicated to advancing civil liberties and education equality, has announced the appointment of Dr. Abin C. Raj as its new National Vice President. With this high-profile appointment, WHRPC ushers in a dynamic era of leadership focused on social justice, inclusive education, and grassroots impact.
Dr. Abin’s elevation to this prestigious role comes at a time when India is grappling with pressing challenges in both human rights advocacy and educational access. A globally acclaimed educationist, academic strategist, and social reformer, Dr. Abin brings to WHRPC a unique blend of scholarly excellence and field-level engagement. His leadership is expected to spearhead reformative initiatives that align human rights with educational upliftment, making them more actionable and community-centered.
With a distinguished academic profile that includes doctoral degrees in Economics, Education, and Business Management, and global certifications from institutions in the UK and USA, Dr. Abin has long stood at the intersection of knowledge and impact. He currently serves as the Academic Director of SKDMS Residential Center School and is the Founder-Director of Laa Education, where he is pioneering pedagogical innovation. His previous roles include leading top institutions in India and abroad and serving as a panelist for curriculum development under CBSE, IGCSE, and IB systems.
His appointment as National Vice President of WHRPC is more than a personal milestone—it is a signal of the organization’s commitment to transformative leadership. “Human rights are intrinsically tied to education, equity, and dignity. My goal is to ensure that our advocacy is not just policy-level but reaches the lives of those who need it the most,” said Dr. Abin in a statement following his appointment.
Over the years, Dr. Abin has launched numerous grassroots initiatives aimed at closing the gap between education and access. He has established free learning programs for tribal and underprivileged students in Maharashtra, empowering first-generation learners to dream beyond socio-economic limitations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he organized large-scale donation drives, distributing learning kits, food, and healthcare resources to marginalized communities.
As an academic crisis manager, student development expert, and teacher trainer, Dr. Abin has equipped hundreds of schools with tools to navigate modern challenges. His Faculty Training Programs (FTP), parent orientation sessions, and behavioral counseling modules are now adopted by multiple educational institutions across India. His inclusive model of schooling emphasizes creativity, cognitive development, and emotional intelligence—creating classrooms that are nurturing as well as intellectually stimulating.
Beyond the education sector, Dr. Abin is a committed humanitarian. As Chairman of the Blood Donation Society, he has mobilized youth and civil society in life-saving donation campaigns. His broader vision integrates education, health, and social welfare as the three pillars of a just society.
Industry observers and human rights advocates have lauded WHRPC’s choice, calling Dr. Abin’s appointment both timely and strategic. “This is a leadership decision that blends academic depth with action on the ground. Dr. Abin’s work speaks volumes about sustainable reform,” said a senior member of the Commission.
Internationally, Dr. Abin has been honored with several awards, including the Nelson Mandela International Excellence Award in the UK, the Innovative Principal of the Year at the World School Summit in Dubai, and the Mahatma Gandhi National Pride Award. He is also featured in the Prestigious Book of World Records for his contributions to inclusive education.
As National Vice President, his mandate will include expanding WHRPC’s outreach in rural and urban India, collaborating with governments and NGOs, and drafting frameworks that promote human rights education in schools. He also plans to work with international agencies to promote cross-border learning models and rights-based curriculums.
In his own words, “A society cannot progress until every child, regardless of caste, class, or geography, has access to dignity, learning, and opportunity. My work with WHRPC will be to embed this vision into actionable policies and people-first programs.”
Dr. Abin’s role symbolizes a growing convergence between human rights and education in India. As the country navigates the complex terrain of development, inequality, and aspiration, leaders like Dr. Abin are redefining what it means to build a just, empowered, and equitable nation.
With a future-focused mindset and grassroots credibility, Dr. Abin C. Raj is poised to lead WHRPC into a new era—where human rights are not only advocated but lived, and where education becomes the most powerful vehicle of change.
